Sandbox - 25feb17

[One of our daughters is visiting this weekend and we decided to take in the gun show at fairgrounds today. The entire show fit into the Amaral Center and was very well attended; in fact there were actually too many people there back to back and belly to belly. But the show itself was a bit sad - not enough shooting hardware. No major manufacturers showing off their line, the reason being that gun makers are not sending as much of their new stuff to California to be put through the regulatory and testing hoops to make sure they are up to snuff in a state that really wants to confiscate every last gun from civilian hands. Another sign of the times. gjr]

Thanks Gregory, kind of figured that but that just means they are ripping you off. With breadcrumbs you at least know what your getting before the fact. Right now the new KFC hot rocks it on the big boneless breast strips.

About the EPA cuts: "Trump promised to abolish President Barack Obama’s “Climate Action Plan,” refocusing the EPA towards clean air and water regulations."
Clean air and water???!!! What kind of crazy is this guy?
I want all of the leftistas to go on record complaining about that.

I wonder sometimes just how much money is burnt up every year paying people like that, who do purty much nothing useful, a fine lifetime professional income. Is this a great country or what?

You should ask a local guy.....runs a business council I understand.

He can probably clue you in to how much at costs to prepare CAP documents.....at no direct cost to the taxpayers.....but that entities (business/municipal governments) need to be eligible for grant money. Grant money which I'm pretty sure faeries or pixies create out of thin air!

The black thick smoke bellowing across the windswept plains made me wonder about the Clean Air Act's effectiveness. What kind of people would do that on purpose? Have they no heart, no soul, no compass?

For your morning reading pleasure. Trump is now tied in Rasmussen polling, down eight points in a week. He now leads in no major polls and is down an average of 7%. Terrible standing, the worst in history for a newly elected.

"Nationwide support for marijuana legalization is at a record high. A survey from Quinnipiac University released last week found 71 percent of American voters want the federal government to respect state marijuana"

Not new news, but litterbugs chap my hide bigtime. I doubt Democracy Now will pick up the rest of the story about the litter,, abandoned cars, diesel generators, motorhomes, tons of human debris waste, toxic pollutants, and voluminous health hazards. I hope they don't get anywhere near the Yuba. Shameful behavior. Shameful.

BillT 1107am - Mr Tozer, collectivism in all of its manifestations (communism, socialism, liberalism, progressivism, ...) has been a fraud ever since Karl Marx explained it in his Das Kapital.

PaulE 1005am - Enough Paul. Here's your opportunity to put a little money in your pocket. Starting with tomorrow, President Trump will have 1,055 days left in office for his first term. If he is impeached and convicted, or resigns under political duress, I will pay you the amount in dollars that equals the numbers of days that he did not serve out his current term as president. However, if he completes his current term and leaves office on 20 January 2020, then you will pay me 1055/2 = $527.50. As an example, if under these conditions Trump's successor is sworn in on 6 June 2018, I will pay you $593. Capice? From the copy that you have been putting out for months and months, it looks like you will make a bundle. Time to put your money in the ol' pie hole. Offer expires 1159pm 3 March 2017. What say you?

PaulE 1255pm - Well, my 1113am outline of the bet would have you pay since it would be hard to establish the cause of heart attack or any other debilitating malady. To date your TDS has focused on his being explicitly ousted through some kind of due process that would make continuing in the presidency impossible (e.g.convicted) or ill-advised (e.g. resignation because of a number of causes). But to sweeten the bet, let's make it so that leaving office because of a physical malady will invalidate the bet - neither owes the other anything. OK?

Paul Emery, you have no clue about what you are saying. Has nothing to do with clean water. It was all about the feds taking control of a puddle or a cutoff ditch on your back property not about drinking water. Jeeze you are so ignorant. And you claim you are a journalist.

Boy, this still chaps my hide. I will just have to get over it in time. What kind of POSs would do this?? What kind of people who could do this be possibly be called human? I just cannot wrap my mind around what kind of despicable subhumans could do this?

What possible justification could anyone have for leaving this mess? I hope none of the locals participating in this.

BillT@1107 - 'Pack it in, pack it out' is a good motto, but, in this case the litter is a F-U to the Fed. Sounds like just another no-bid contract to me...out of Florida, no less. Who got the contract, Gumbah Garbage?

Below are the Bismark Landfill fees. Seem reasonable to me. The Corp could have hired a couple of local contractors with some end dumps and a backhoe and done the job for a fraction of what they are paying. Most of the waste is lightweight debris not concrete rubble so the tonnage will not be that massive.

It is just another example of how nothing really changes when it comes to how our government works.

Locally, I have watched while some contractor has been replacing all the irrigation lines, valves, etc. along Hwy 20/49 through Nevada City. They have been there for months with many vehicles on site, CHP on duty, etc. For what, some sprinklers to water the crap landscaping in a drought prone area?

Brad, giving a FU to the Feds is one thing, but they cannot ever justify doing this to private or public property. Ever. Can you ever justify this in a 1,000 lifetimes?? Gets my blood boiling. I know I can search The Union's archives and get some names of those that went there....but I just would end up in jail if I gave them instant Karma. Guess they have never been knifed before
Ah, I could get some addresses and maybe dump some trash on their front porches some day with a note saying "Hey, you forgot something, asswipe."
This one gets my goat more than those homeless POSs leaving piles of trash everywhere they go. Everywhere. At least they are mostly doped up, drunken, mentally ill, hopeless, and totally helpless, so at least they have a plausible excuse for caring zero about society and having others clean up their trash. Yes, they are the rule, not the exceptions. Going through life having others clean up after ya. The concept is so foreign to me.

Look what they are doing to our landscapes now!!! Holy crap. Scar the landscape forever for a boondoggle! Those guys never have been knifed either.

"Many of those same activists routinely demonize natural gas and hydraulic fracturing even though the physical footprint of gas production is far smaller than that of wind. Three years ago, the late David J.C. MacKay, then a professor at the University of Cambridge, calculated that wind energy requires about 700 times more land to produce the same amount of energy as a fracking site."

Brad, before I drop it, they figure it would take 480 rolling dumpsters to clean it up....with time running out before the rising rivers are polluted by those who hate the environment by their actions, although they spout their protection of nature with their words, not deeds. A backhoe and a small crew ain't going to cut it. Then there is the issue of restoring the land and protecting against erosion caused by the greenies. No one else left this abortion of the landscape but them.

The price of the cleanup is not the issue. The issue is the greenies left a big mess for anybody but them to pack out. The people business is a messy business in more ways than one.

Someone is always cleaning up after the ECO bastards. Every place they protest and "occupy" is left a trash heap. Even in ECO central,(Frisco) on "Green Day" Golden Gate Park is littered from one end to the other. " I had my day,, let someone else deal with the mess."

So the next time you drive past some "ECO fest",, do your part.. Throw a box of hefty bags out the truck window at the protester's feet, and yell,, "be sure to use these!"

Think I'm wrong? April 22 will be here soon enough. Look for the pics to show up of the "festivities". Then get back to me.

Paul Emery, the states can have compacts or do it themselves. They don't need the feds being daddy. They even tried to call the cutoff ditch on my peoprty on a hillside a "water of the USA". So get educated and stop the straw man crap. I am a expert on this like Russ is on global warming.

Compare that to the Indivisible women's gathering at the Miners Foundry on Sunday where hundreds packed both concert rooms at the venue and had traffic backed up all the way to the Old Downiville Road. I know because I couldn't find a parking place anywhere near the KVMR studio on Sunday afternoon. It was like there was a parade going on.

Oh, not again, why, why, why from the poor ol' pollhead PE. No depth to have a discussion, the EPA already is primarily a grand distribution administrator oh learned one. The EPA could be run by less than a thousand staffers. That would let you fire 14,000 bureaucrats and never notice it. They already are dumping the whole global warming section and contractors as a start. ;-)

Scenes, IF that's the case then why is the poor ol' poll head failing to jump at the opportunity? It would seem poor ol' PE does not stand by his rhetoric and prognostications, I understand why given his history. ;-)

I guess you're no longer involved in anti-pot issues. I can see why you'd give it up as a lost cause. It was fun for you for a while, you had a little time in the spotlight. What's your next losing cause Don?

Poor ol' PE again insists on showing his shortcomings @ 557, personally or as a newsman is up to the readers. There is lots of regulation writing going on all over the state but the campaigns are over. There are 37 mj related bills in play at the capitol mr newsman or were you ignorant of all the work going on? While you want to make weed a focus i would remind you that i still sit on a number non profit boards. You could look to the recent BOS video archives ya poor ol' pollhead. ;-)

Walt. I watched most of it. Heck, at one time he stole Hillary's thunder and at another time he made nice with the Party, but he mostly was Trump laying out a huge multi-year agenda. Now, if the legislature can do its job and start crafting and moving bills along, that would be great for the country no matter what side you are on. President doing his job, Congress doing theirs, and maybe 1/3 of the plate might get done....never know. Good to quickly put the vile Left's Yemen story to Rest In Peace.

Nancy sitting alone not clapping for jobs was worth more than 200 gazillion words. See, everything the Left tries to do lately blows up in their faces. Never seen anything like that in all my days. Mercy.

Good thing about free streaming the speech is it ends when the speech ends, without commentary. Saw Shepard Smith mug popped up for a split second and the feed stopped. Just in time. They haven't got rid of him yet?

Let's see. What will the Left's spin buzz word be? What phrase? Last time they all (left meaning Media, Dems are irrelevant) came out with "it was a dark speech." Dark. Everyone of them from CNN to NBC to that girl that looks like a boy on MSNBC, to Huff-n-puff Post to Salon to...all of them. Dark, dark speech.

This is great. I don't have to read any copy! Paul will pop over soon enough and give us the Alt-Media catch phrase issued down from on high. Always a silver lining.

Here is a copy of a woman from a Facebook debate on abortion. Now my position is a woman can do what she wants but I just don't want my tax money paying for it. This is a typical response but this was really something. These people are truly unhinged.

"Alejandra Nafir I've never had a. Abortion in my life, I do however have a family member whom was raped by a family member, if that would have resulted in her pregnancy (as a child) would it be up to her parents to pay for that bill since they went and had a daughter?!? This is where womans rights come in. That guy gets to go free because the court systems favor him. Roll over and die with your opinions Todd you shouldn't be breathing our air"

Oh, I forgot something.. That story above about all the Media Alt-Left saying it was a "dark speech" last time, well, an hour later some news guy from Nevada City, I believe, popped over here and said he found the speech to be dark. Dark speech. Come on Rummy, don't you have an original thought in your noggin?

Todays edition of GOD BLESS AMERICA
My goodness!!!
WASHINGTON — President Trump killed a regulation that would have tightened gun background checks Tuesday, signing a bill to undo one of his predecessor's executive actions following the San Bernardino shootings in 2015.

That was the lamest attempt to divert attention from what has been called the best address ever by some #nevertrumpers! We know the dems wanted 0 care to fail so it will transition to madam liar liar pantsuits on fires single payer.

Diversion alert, diversion alert on poor ol' PE, the President killed it tonight! I understand as one who suffers from a malady that has metastasized from BDS to a TURD eruption that you would want to change the subject PE. Get some of that salve. ;-)

Don't be a TARD. Be a TURD!
Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder (TURD)

Still don't like that acronym. It is more like Trump Uniting Republicans and Democrats.

Alt-Left Media still struggling to come up with the phrase to change the narrative of tonight's speech. Well, Chicago is pissed that "Trump mentioned Chicago again!" and the usual suspects are begrudgingly saying "He finally mentioned the India Indian killings, but it was LATE! in doing so, and just a bunch of nitpicking. I am sure they will stay up all night and Morning Joe will drop the magical spin words on us in the morning.

Heck, the Dems raced out of there to jump in front of the cameras, but all they have so far are spurts and stalls. Ah heck, call it dark again.

“The Democratic Party is at its lowest point of power in this country since the 1920s, and the response was made by a 72-year-old retired two-term governor of Kentucky, not by Kamala Harris, not by Kirsten Gillibrand, not by the Castro brothers, not by anyone who has a future in the actual Democratic Party,” said Schmidt, an MSNBC political analyst.

Don, Polls are not out yet....gotta wait......interesting to see what the polls are in 4-8 months. Strike that. Not interesting in the least, but let's pretend we care about daily snapshots in the spirit of unity.
Now, Don, you have not addressed "the fact". Shame on you. :). Let PE cling to whatever straws he can grasp onto. We gotta keep him alive to fight another day. Impeachment is coming! Goody, goody. Punchy will be roaring back..... Everyday, every darn day with no vacations and no weekends off.

Trump's speech was the best yet of his new administration. But he is all hat, no cattle until he gets some legislation passed. I don't like the guy a person (but no one cares about that except me). If he gets shit done, then more power to him (well, maybe not 'more power' ;)

Love it. Paul doesn't even follow the regs the EPA set upon us. Here is a term you might understand Paul,,"vernal pool".(a depression in the ground where a stump may have been.) "those" fell under that law . Yup, ANY standing water after a rain was under FED EPA control. NOT anymore.
